That's what I did, its a nice package and does the job well, do I need to use normal mount as root though if I want to run scripts and programs? For some reason I couldn't run a /bin/sh script on my external hard drive when it was mounted with pmount. Thanks for all the help though, I think this is the best solution. -- Daniel Dalton http://members.iinet.net.au/~ddalton/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
